Shuangcheng, also known as Shuangcheng, is a famous historical city in Northeast China and one of the birthplaces of the Manchu people. It is said that "Liaoyang Prefecture is in the south and Shuangcheng is in the north." "The emperor's business flourished in the White Mountains and Black Waters, and the ancient twin cities on the right wing of Jinyuan". Eight hundred years ago, Wanyan Aguda, Emperor Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, had a drink and talked about military affairs on the banks of the Laliu River (Lalin River). The ruins of two ancient cities of the Jin Dynasty, Dahe and Buda, still exist in the territory.

For this reason, Jilin General Sai Chong A was ordered to find out the reclaimable land and make a report. Renzongqin approved the two reclamation lands in the northeast and southeast of Lalin selected by General Sai Chong'a of Jilin, but severely refuted his proposal to delay the decision. For this reason, Sai Chong'a was transferred to Chengdu, and Fu Jun took over as the general of Jilin. The twin castle area that was later established was not included in the preparatory land reclamation.

In the early Qing Dynasty, it belonged to Zhangjing of Ningguta Pleiades Gang. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), it belonged to General Ningguta Camp. In the fifteenth year of Kangxi's reign (1676), it was under the jurisdiction of the Ningguta Deputy Capital Office.

In the 19th year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty (1814), the Shuangcheng Assistant Government Office was established, marking the beginning of the establishment of the Shuangcheng governance. In the 11th year of Daoguang's reign (1831), Tian Dexing Shaoguo opened in the south of Xida Street, with more than 30 workers and an annual output of 1 million catties of sorghum wine.

In the first year of Xianfeng's reign (1851), the Association for Discipline Inspection was established, with the title of Vice-Capital Commander-in-Chief. In the eighth year of Guangxu's reign (1882), the Shuangcheng City Hall was established, with a director to assist the people and judge, and also to manage Lalin. The banner (Manchu people) and the people (Han people) were divided into two groups. In the 33rd year of Guangxu's reign (1907), it came under the jurisdiction of Binjiang Road in Jilin Province. In the first year of Xuantong (1909), Shuangcheng Prefecture was established.
